The "De anima" Project
The impetus behind this website comes from an international collaborative effort to produce an edition and complete translation of Buridan's questions on Aristotle's De anima, to be followed by a volume of interpretive and critical essays, all of which will be published by Springer.

Two thirds of the project (Books 2 and 3) will be based on existing editions and translations, which have already proved their mettle in the two decades they have served specialists of the field. The text editions, however, were based not on all the manuscripts that are available today, and the translations, useful as they were, are also in need of improvement. The new edition and translation will reflect a common, improved understanding of Buridan's doctrine, reflected also in a commonly accepted terminology.
